Diplomacy and Dominance

Diplomacy and Dominance is a Horde-only quest for level 30-60 in Vol'dun. It is step 7 of 13 in the Storming the Spire storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Vol'dun at 47.2, 39.1. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 8,150 experience and money.

Description

May I entrust you with my staff, <name>? I do not offer this lightly, so do not accept it lightly either.

We will need every advantage when we face Emperor Korthek, and I've identified an opportunity to increase the power at our disposal.

The Faithless maintain a series of suppression spires on the ridge above us to subjugate the pterrordax. My staff can drain power from the spires to bolster its own potency.

Meanwhile, I will recruit a much-needed ally for the next stage of our mission.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Crater ConqueredVol'dun · Level 30-60

    I can take it from here, <name>. I'll rally these vulpera and march through the trenches creating chaos. Korthek and his armies will be forced to deal with us! If you and Vorrik are going to make a move, you should do it now.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Don't Drop It... YetVol'dun · Level 30-60

    The Faithless are training pterrordaxes as mounts so that they can rain down death from the skies. Their skycallers have developed a means of storing volatile lightning magic into fragile crystals. Lightning bombs, in the simplest sense. The magic behind it is quite brilliant, really.
